The FA Project is committed towards creating awareness of Friedreich's Ataxia, a life altering disease. We aim to educate the public by increasing the visibility of related information & resources and creating a support system for those afflicted with FA. Ultimately it is our goal to provide those living with FA the tools and resources necessary to lead the best life possible.

Chair / Funding and Awards Distribution

Maria Currier was born in Boston, Massachusetts and still lives about ten miles from Boston and loves living so close to the city. She proudly states that the best part of her life is her family.

Maria is married to Richie with whom she has two absolutely beautiful and fun-loving daughters, Gabriela and Mia. Her family serves as a source of inspiration on a daily basis. Whether it is watching her daughters learn something new each day or staying motivated by her husband's courage to face challenges with the utmost grace and dignity.

In addition to being a wife and mother she is an avid fan of Pilates and recently took steps to becoming a Pilates instructor. Maria loves to entertain family and friends for any occasion and feels blessed to be surrounded by truly wonderful people.
